Dehydrated White Onion

Mahuva in Gujarat is the centre of Indian onion dehydration, and its white varieties are what most of the world’s dehydrated onion is made from. Supplied across the standard cuts from kibbled through to powder.

Like garlic powder, this is hygroscopic: packed at 6% maximum with a liner for sea freight.
